What is BS 2000-306 - Determination of oxidation stability of straight mineral oil about?
The method specified in BS 2000-306 is designed to give a measure of the tendency of straight (i.e. plain) mineral lubricating oil to oxidize under specified conditions.
BS 2000-306 employs the same apparatus and a similar procedure to those used to determine the oxidation stability of Inhibited Mineral Turbine Oil (BS 2000-280).
BS 2000-306 differs from this test in that (a) the test time is reduced to 48 h, (b) two conditions, namely no catalyst and solid copper metal catalyst are used, and (c) the degree of deterioration is expressed as total oxidation products (TOP) per cent.
Who is BS 2000-306 - Determination of oxidation stability of straight mineral oil for?
BS 2000-306 on determination of oxidation stability of straight mineral oil is useful for:
- Petroleum industry
- Testing laboratories
- Research institutes/ academia
Why should you use BS 2000-306 - Determination of oxidation stability of straight mineral oil ?
Oxygen stability is the tendency of fuels to react with oxygen, which degrades the quality of oil. Hence, determining the oxygen stability of mineral oils is very important.
BS 2000 comprises a series of test methods for petroleum and its products. It provides general information on safety precautions, sampling and other matters, and lists the methods to be carried out.
Guidance specified in BS 2000-306, enables you to determine the volatile and oil-soluble acidities, and the sludge produced in the oil.
BS 2000-306 provides you guidance to carry out the test to determine the oxidation stability of straight mineral oil with precision and accuracy.
